Plant Anatomy

The online resources for each anatomy module include sound files (as .mp3 and readable .pdf), a series of high-resolution diagrams and micrographs and your virtual slide box. The sound files are provided as a source of information and a guide to assist you with the activities contained in each program. If you follow the sound, you should complete all the work with reasonable efficiency. At the end of the week’s work you may find it useful to run through the sound again, just listening.

Please note that best learning resources are the slides that you make yourself with the fresh material provided, which you examine using the microscope, particularly. The skills we will examine at the end of semester are those associated with sectioning, staining, communicating your findings with annotated images and the interpretation of cell and tissue patterns.
